Polishing help

I've been attacking my frame today with Wet & Dry and Brasso... only a quick try but quite pleased with the results... 240/400/600 Grit, then Brasso wadding. There's some quite fiddly bits though, so I was hoping I'd be able to use Nitromoors on those bits, and round the welds.
and autosol gets out alu scratches on baths (enamel? think mine is steel)
i did it in the shower becaus ei couldnt get rid of the streaks due to rattle can paint, where as the original paint falked and bubbled underneath
autosol will still get rid of some of the minor streaks though

1500's or 2000's followed by a good hand polish with megs NXT or similar will do you proud ;-)
When going for a true mirror finish cleanliness is important - wash off well and use a fresh cloth for every stage of polishing, a dirty cloth with bits of 800 grit in it won't do well for buffing off the final polish :-(

Satin finish
During the process of trial polishing my frame (After the 600 grit) The finish was a sort of a satin look from a distance which I really liked but, of course, up close it was lots of scratches... is there any way of getting a satin finish, other than anodised?
